The Quiet One

This is genuinely the worst acting I have ever seen in my life ! I can not get across how bad the acting really is. Genuinely the worst film I think thats ever been made, it might be low budget but it's honestly embarrassing for everyone involved !

The sound is all over the place, the plot is beyond poor, the music is shocking, surely the makers of this utter rubbish can't of been happy with the final cut. I think you could get a bunch of completely random strangers off the street the do a better job than this. It's unbelievable how this film actually got onto amazon, if I could give this minus points I would.

I stumbled across this film on amazon prime and thought lets give it a go.

Now, it certainly didn't look like any kind of blockbuster and clearly had been made with a minimal budget, however the overall feel of the movie and the way the storyline evolves I cannot help but think how much of a bigger success this film would have been with more cofters.

But credit where credit is due, its a cool story and worthy of a watch.

I say well done to all involved in making something you should be proud of.

I personally would like to see a sequel, a what happens next with Lenny. And I hope that investors see their way to giving you more budget, not too much though as I wouldn't want you to lose your way. The rawness of the film is very important to keep.

Stumbled across this on Amazon Prime.

This is a low budget (very low budget) gem of a film telling a simple story very well. The sound can be a bit hit and miss at times - low budget remember - but nicely paced.

It's short and gets on with telling the story with no,pointless padding.

There are no words to describe how bad this film is but I'll try. Badly acted, the characters are very, very unconvincing and the whole plotline and story are just too terrible for words. Avoid like the plague. If I could give a zero rating, I would. The worst character is the gangster's son who is the least convincing of an unconvincing bunch, the production is terrible (watch out for the old fella who has a pint given to him, but a quarter of it is gone on his first sip but then, miraculously, turns into a full pint as the camera pans away). It's 90 minutes or so of my life I'll never get back.

I watched this after having the pleasure of meeting the director at Birmingham Film Festival last night. I was pretty cautious going in, given how so many no-budget films are quite dull. This is thankfully not the case here. The film is a slow burn, but it doesn't feel like it has much filler, which is the main gripe I have with similar films. The performances all range from decent to pretty good. Director Jon Pegg clearly has an eye for good actors, as the casting is all really good. The one role I would say I didn't feel like it worked was the lead. The actor is clearly good, but he doesn't quite have the presence of someonr like Clint Eastwood or Toshiro Mifune that the film was clearly trying to emulate. Not a bad performance by any means, just miscast.

Very solid all around. Obviously not perfect, but a good way to spend 90 minutes.
